AI Stocks Today (Dec. 24, 2025, 10:34 a.m. ET): Nvidia, Microsoft, Intel, Snowflake and ServiceNow in Focus as the S&P 500 Hits a Fresh Record

AI Stocks Today (Dec. 24, 2025, 10:34 a.m. ET): Nvidia, Microsoft, Intel, Snowflake and ServiceNow in Focus as the S&P 500 Hits a Fresh Record

As of late morning on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, U.S. markets are trading through a holiday-thinned, shortened Christmas Eve session with one message dominating the tape: investors are back in “AI mode.” The S&P 500 pushed to a new intraday record, buoyed by renewed appetite for heavyweight AI and tech names and growing confidence that the Federal Reserve could deliver additional rate cuts in 2026—two catalysts that have repeatedly powered the AI-stock trade over the past three years. Reuters But beneath the headline index level, today’s AI-stock story is more nuanced than a simple “chips up, everything else follows” narrative.

Shriram Finance Share Price Hits Fresh 52-Week High on MUFG Deal, Breaks Into India’s Top-50 Most Valuable Club

Mumbai | December 24, 2025 — Shriram Finance is extending a breakout rally that has turned the NBFC into one of Dalal Street’s standout stories of late 2025. In early trade on Wednesday, the stock pushed to a fresh 52-week high near ₹983, keeping it firmly on investors’ radar after Japan’s MUFG Bank agreed to take a 20% stake in what is being described as a landmark foreign investment into India’s financial services space. Moneycontrol+1 The momentum is also spilling into the broader market narrative: a steady Nifty, selective risk-taking in financials and consumer names, and a fresh cluster of

AI Stocks Today (Dec. 23, 2025): China’s AI Surge, Big Tech’s Power Grab, and New Red Flags for Nvidia, Alphabet, Amazon and More

AI stocks are heading into the final stretch of 2025 with a familiar contradiction: demand signals still look strong, but the market’s tolerance for “priced-for-perfection” narratives is thinning fast. On Tuesday, December 23, the AI news cycle hit nearly every layer of the stack—chips, cloud, data centers, power, autonomous systems, and even the legal plumbing underneath generative AI. Below is a comprehensive roundup of the key AI-stock headlines dated Dec. 23, 2025—plus what they mean for investors watching Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Meta, AMD, Broadcom, Taiwan’s chip ecosystem, and China’s rapidly scaling AI complex. The big picture: AI spending

Gold Price Today at 5:00 GMT (22 December 2025): Spot Gold Breaks $4,400 as Fed-Cut Bets and Geopolitics Supercharge the Rally

Gold prices surged to fresh records in early trade on Monday, 22 December 2025, with spot bullion pushing through the psychologically important $4,400 per ounce level for the first time as investors leaned into a potent mix of U.S. rate-cut expectations, a softer dollar, and renewed safe-haven demand. At 05:02 GMT, spot gold was up 1.4% at $4,397.16 per ounce, after briefly breaking $4,400 to hit a record $4,400.29. U.S. gold futures for February delivery rose 0.98% to $4,430.30.

Updated: Monday, Dec. 22, 2025 — 1:43 p.m. ET The “AI trade” is back at the center of Wall Street’s conversation heading into a holiday-shortened week—driven by a mix of semiconductor headlines, cloud monetization forecasts, and an increasingly important constraint that has nothing to do with code: electricity. By late morning in New York, major U.S. indexes were higher, with technology and chip stocks extending a rebound that began late last week—helped by upbeat memory-chip guidance and softer inflation data. Investors are also looking ahead to key U.S. economic releases later this week, while trading volumes are expected to thin

Quantum Computing Stocks Today (Dec. 22, 2025): Billionaires Trim Amazon as Rigetti’s 2026 Outlook Sharpens on Novera Orders

Quantum Computing Stocks Today (Dec. 22, 2025): Billionaires Trim Amazon as Rigetti’s 2026 Outlook Sharpens on Novera Orders

Quantum computing has spent years living in the “someday” corner of the market. As 2025 winds down, it’s suddenly behaving like a “right now” trade — with headlines tying together three forces that don’t usually move in lockstep: big-tech platforms like Amazon, pure-play quantum names like Rigetti, and a fresh wave of Wall Street coverage heading into 2026. The story taking shape on December 22, 2025 is less about one company and more about a fast-evolving playbook: investors looking for the next computing wave are mixing steady cash-flow giants (Amazon and Alphabet) with high-volatility specialists (Rigetti, IonQ, D-Wave). And the

AI Stocks Today (22.12.2025): Nvidia’s China Chip Pivot, Micron’s AI Memory Boom, Broadcom Margin Jitters, and Oracle’s TikTok Surprise

Monday, 22 December 2025 (22.12.2025) opens the holiday-shortened trading week with AI stocks back in the driver’s seat—but with the kind of “two steps forward, one geopolitical step sideways” energy that has defined much of 2025’s tech tape. Over the past few sessions, investors have rotated back into the AI trade after a bout of valuation angst, helped by a tech rebound and renewed confidence that enterprise and hyperscaler AI spending isn’t evaporating—it’s just getting more selective. Global markets reflected that shift: Asian shares climbed on the back of tech-led gains, while U.S. futures nudged higher early Monday as traders

BHP Group Ltd Stock in Focus on Dec. 22, 2025: China Iron Ore Talks, Copper-Potash Pivot, and Fresh Analyst Targets

BHP Group Ltd stock is heading into the final stretch of 2025 with a familiar mix of forces tugging at it: iron ore prices and China demand on one side, and a long-term strategy pivot toward copper and potash on the other. On Monday, December 22, 2025, investors also have a new headline to digest around BHP’s iron ore relationship with China’s centralised buyer, plus updated “street view” forecasts that frame where analysts think the stock can go next. This is the key point: BHP is still leveraged to iron ore and China, but it is increasingly being valued as

Rare Metals Stocks Week Ahead (Dec. 22–26, 2025): China’s Rare Earth Export Licenses, Lithium Crosscurrents, and the Catalysts Investors Are Watching

Rare metals stocks are heading into a holiday-shortened trading week with a familiar but high-voltage mix of drivers: geopolitics, export rules, battery demand signals, and year-end liquidity. The last few sessions delivered a dense cluster of developments that matter for investors tracking rare earth stocks, critical minerals stocks, and strategic metals names tied to magnets, batteries, and defense supply chains. The big headline into Sunday, December 21, 2025 is that China has begun issuing “general” export licenses for rare earth-related items—a potentially market-moving tweak that could reduce shipping friction while keeping Beijing’s leverage intact.

Verizon Stock (VZ) News Today: Frontier Deal Approvals, 5G Tower Partnership, Dividend Outlook and 2026 Catalysts (Dec. 21, 2025)

Verizon Stock (VZ) News Today: Frontier Deal Approvals, 5G Tower Partnership, Dividend Outlook and 2026 Catalysts (Dec. 21, 2025)

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ) heads into the final full trading week of 2025 with investors focused on two big themes: the march toward closing its Frontier Communications acquisition and the company’s push to keep network investment efficient while protecting cash flow. With U.S. markets closed on Sunday, December 21, 2025, the most recent trading print reflects Friday’s session, when VZ was around $39.82. That price level keeps Verizon in familiar territory for late 2025: a high-dividend, value-leaning telecom stock that tends to move more on deal progress, competitive dynamics, and cash-flow confidence than on headline-grabbing product launches.

Singapore Stock Market Today: STI Holds Near 4,570 as Banks, S-REIT Flows and Year-End Positioning Shape SGX Outlook (Dec 21, 2025)

SINGAPORE — The Singapore Exchange (SGX) is closed today (Sunday, Dec 21), leaving investors to digest a tight, range-bound finish to last week and prepare for the final trading stretch of 2025. The Straits Times Index (STI) ended Friday (Dec 19) essentially flat, slipping 0.02% to 4,569.78, signalling consolidation after a strong run this year and into a holiday period where liquidity typically thins out and stock-specific moves can dominate.

Uber Stock (NYSE: UBER) News, Forecasts and Analysis on Dec. 20, 2025: Robotaxi Fears, FTC Lawsuit Headlines, and Wall Street’s Next Targets

Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) is ending 2025 in a familiar place for long-time shareholders: strong operating momentum on one side, and a heavy “headline discount” on the other. As of the Friday, Dec. 19, 2025 market close (with U.S. markets shut on Saturday, Dec. 20), Uber stock finished at $79.31, extending a multi-week pullback from the fall highs.

7 February 2026
Rio Tinto’s U.S. shares closed up 2.5% at $93.37 Friday after the company ruled out a merger with Glencore, triggering a six-month “no-bid” lockout under UK takeover rules. Both companies cited disagreements over valuation. Attention now turns to Rio’s Feb. 19 results and iron ore prices, which fell below $100 a tonne amid weak Chinese demand.
